We already know all about John Wooden, I will keep it brief. Graduated
from Purdue, and then taught high school, coached high school
basketball, and played professionally until World War 2. After WW2,
returned to coach at Indiana State, and then on to UCLA where he became a
legend with ten NCAA championships. He married Nellie Riley (1912-1985)
in 1932 and the couple had a son, James, and a daughter, Nancy. He was elected to the Basketball Hall of Fame in 1960.
